The metaverse has come into the limelight with everything from coverage on CNBC to Roblox's creator platform to Facebook's rename to Meta. What is or may become the metaverse? What computing trends - from game engines to VR to AR wearables - are enabling this? What does it mean for the metaverse to be open and how can we facilitate openness with open standards? And how is Philadelphia-based tech startup, Cesium, playing a role in building the metaverse?
